Minimal Detectable and Isolable Faults of Active Fault Diagnosis

Abstract

This article aims to compute guaranteed minimal detectable and isolable faults of set-based active fault diagnosis methods for discrete linear time-invariant systems. First, guaranteed detectable and isolable faults of set-based active fault diagnosis methods are defined in this article. Second, an augmented vector is defined to integrate the effect of both inputs and faults such that the couplings of inputs and faults can be handled effectively. Third, guaranteed minimal detectable and isolable faults are computed by solving a mixed integer quadratic fractional programming problem under a proposed theoretic framework. At the end of this article, an example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
